Thor Randolph, the Mighty of Pain, bent down to greet Lin Yuan's arrival. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Most of the officials in the city also came to the Exhaustion Room to welcome Lin Yuan's arrival, and Sauls's wife, Rhona, was among them.
"No need to be polite, everyone is an acquaintance. ”
Lin Yuan, who appeared in the portal with Heras, smiled and waved his hand at his subordinates, asking them to return to their normal work.
Officials left with their heads bowed, and only the Soles remained where they were.
"Ah, Rhona's belly has gotten bigger. ”
Lin Yuan looked at Rona who hadn't seen her for a while, she had been four months pregnant, and the contour of her abdomen had become quite obvious.
"I'm sorry for you, Lorna and the baby in her belly are healthy. Sauls said with a stern face.
Is it healthy?Lin Yuan smiled and didn't say anything, he asked Rona to go back and rest first, and he took Sols and Heras to another place.
"So, training done?"
Walking on the passage of the castle, Lin Yuan, who was walking in front, asked Sols.
"Yes, all ten of them have passed the training and have become able to endure great pain. ”
"Well, that's good. ”
Sauls didn't know what Lin Yuan was going to do next, so he had to endure the puzzlement, while hoping that nothing uncomfortable would happen next.
A week ago, Lin Yuan suddenly brought seven men and three women to Sols and ordered him to train them.
These ten people were all young men and women, all of them were homeless people after the destruction of the coal city, and they were originally under Pang Heng's arrangement, living in other cities with difficulty, and a few of them were members of the newly organized army.
They were all chosen by Lin Yuan, but Sols didn't know what Lin Yuan promised them, the other party didn't say, and he didn't ask more.
Sauls' job is to train them well.
Using his pain power to exercise their ability to endure is Lin Yuan's only request.
Just a week later, their workout was unexpectedly successful, and Sauls was not expecting it.
He simply used the power of pain to inflict on these people every day, making them suffer within the limits of their endurance every moment, not knowing what the goal of these young people was, and with strong willpower, they endured this pain, which was no different from torture.
Although it was only less than a week, Sols thought that it was enough, and all ten of them could endure the pain he could give, and if they continued to exert more strength, they would only be killed alive, so not long ago, Lin Yuan was notified to complete the training.
Getting closer and closer to the room where the ten people were waiting, Sauls looked at Lin Yuan's back in front of him, and couldn't help but feel confused in his heart.
Sauls didn't know what he was doing now, and after being forced to sign an oath to this teenager who suddenly appeared in this world out of thin air, he could only keep obeying his words and couldn't do anything to resist.
Now that his wife is pregnant, he can't act rashly, and if he does something that is not in line with the other party's wishes, he knows very well what will happen to him.
It's not that he wants to betray or fight against the Lord of the Oaths, but the alarm bell in Sauls's heart continues to ring every day, and he senses that one day, something will happen that he doesn't want to be.
The least certain thing is that if necessary, Lin Yuan will order him to use the power of pain to attack innocent civilians, just like a desperate power will do the act of slaughtering the city.
He knew that day would not be far away.
Now that there are more and more defensive forces in the magic crystallization veins outside the city, more and more unknown monsters have come to that place, and it is likely that it will not be long before the power of Thor is not needed to defend it.
He will most likely be pushed into battle to conquer cities for his current master.
Sauls wanted peace and stability, and that desire grew stronger after he learned he had a child.
He didn't know if such an idea would be realized, because his strength was now stronger.
After the emergence of two magicians who specialize in power, they provide Sauls with advice on how to use it, allowing him to further control his power.
Saulse is an incomplete power, and the power of pain is not well mastered, but only used preliminarily and brutally, and cannot be compared with other complete powers.
Under the guidance of the Wizard Scholar, the situation has improved a lot, at least Sauls will not use his power to the fullest of his power, and he will lose consciousness casually.
Sauls's bewildered contemplation, after arriving at his destination, was temporarily hidden deep in his mind.
Opening the door of the room, as soon as the ten young men and women saw Lin Yuan, they immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted him.
"Get up, get up, you don't need to do this kind of thing. Lin Yuan walked up to them and told them to stand up.
Seven men and three women stood up respectfully, standing in front of Lin Yuan with their bodies straight and their heads bowed.
"Then it's not too late, let's start now," Lin Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at them, "The training to endure pain has been completed, but this ritual still has a very high risk, and you may die at any time, you can still withdraw now." ”
All seven men and three women understood what was going to happen, but they were silent, and none of them threatened to quit.
Lin Yuan saw their determination and nodded with satisfaction.
"It looks like there's no one going to quit, and that's good, so you're the first, York Rice. ”
The young man who heard the call hurriedly stood up, and he followed Lin Yuan's instructions and went to the things prepared in advance in the room.
It was a cold iron single chair, originally used to punish prisoners, with shackles and chains that could lock the hands and feet of prisoners and immobilize them.
Les sat on the iron chair on his own, and then, with the help of his other companions, locked his hands and feet, etc., and his head was also fixed with iron chains, and there was no way to move a single bit.
The others stuffed a towel in Rice's mouth, so that he couldn't even speak.
They all knew that this was a necessary procedure, and that they needed to do it for the next ritual.
Lin Yuan came to Les's side, and a changing spell appeared in his eyes.
"Now, it's on. ”
Lin Yuan could see that Rice was starting to get nervous, his heartbeat gradually accelerated, and a cold sweat broke out on his head.
Even if you know what to expect and are mentally prepared, the tension will not decrease.
Lin Yuan smiled at Les, and then began the ceremony.
He held out his right index finger and pressed it against the back of Rice's left hand.
Rice's breathing became heavy and rapid in an instant.
Lin Yuan's index finger slowly swiped on the back of Les's hand, and pale yellow smoke drifted out on his index finger, and at the same time, a trace of burnt smell also spread in the air.
Rice's face was flushed, and the bruises all over his body flared up, as if he was enduring great pain.
Lin Yuan was not distracted, he continued to carve the incantation on the back of the other party's hand, this is an action that cannot be failed, once the stroke is wrong, he needs to start again, this is the first time he has performed this ritual, and he needs to concentrate even more.
Les bit the towel in his mouth, his face turned red and white, his whole body was shaking, and the intense pain seemed to pierce his soul, and just when he was about to roll his eyes and faint, the pain that penetrated his whole body suddenly disappeared.
Time passed imperceptibly, and seven or eight minutes later, Lin Yuan completed the carving of the incantation.
"It worked, Les, congratulations on making it through. ”
Lin Yuan exhaled, and then asked the others to untie the shackles on Rice's body.
Covered in sweat, Les couldn't even stand on his feet, and with the help of his companions, he barely got up from his chair.
"Take a break and see if you can make it. ”
Following Lin Yuan's order, Les sat on the other chairs in the room, gulping down the water to cool the heat of his body.
When Les drank all the water, he found that his companions were all watching him.
Look at the back of his left hand.
Les looked excitedly at the pattern on the back of his hand.
It is a pattern of distorted text, which at first glance looks like a crooked eye.
"I ...... Did it work......"
Les stroked the notch on the back of his hand, and this was what they had dreamed of by exercising their patience regardless of the pain.
"It's very easy to use, you just have to concentrate and my brand will respond to you. ”
Lin Yuan's indifferent voice came into his ears, and Les stood up again with a completely different sense of tension.
Rice closed his eyes and concentrated his mind with all his attention.
There was a cold, searing paradoxical pain in his left hand, causing Les to open his eyes suddenly.
Something flowed into his head, and he knew how to use the imprint on the back of his hand.
He took a deep breath and crouched down.
He jumped up with all his strength.
Sauls looked at Rice in shock.
"It's ......"
Les was just an ordinary person, an ordinary person without any magical powers, and Sauls knew that very well.
And now, such an ordinary ordinary person just jumped in place and touched the five-meter-high castle ceiling.
"It seems to have been a success. ”
Seeing that Les surpassed the jumping power of ordinary people, Lin Yuan applauded with a smile.
Watching Les fall safely to the ground, his companions cheered together.
Sauls, however, felt cold on his hands and feet, and he suddenly realized that the twisted text on the back of Rice's hand was familiar.
"How's it going, Sols? This stuff is good, isn't it?"
Lin Yuan's voice full of laughter stimulated Sols's memory.
"I worked hard to make it possible for ordinary people to use the brand of magic. ”
Sauls remembered that a similar twisted text had surfaced on the altar of the undead who had washed people away from humanity and turned them into resurrections from the cold flames.
Now, this writing is imprinted on the living human body.
Sauls sensed something was wrong, and his instincts told him he needed to stop this.
There is no reason for this, but as a living being, instinct is sounding the alarm bells.
"Sols, don't worry too much, everything will be better. ”
Lin Yuan's smiling appearance cooled Sols's head.
Sauls is a servant, and he can't stop the Lord of the Oath.
Lin Yuan smiled comfortingly at Sols, and then walked towards the excitedly selected one.
He smiled kindly at them.
"So, who's next?"
